Questions, everyone has questions!

At long last - the interview questions - SORRY it took so dang long, folks - there's a lot going on at the house of Hydrangeas. Good, fun, hard and tough times, but all so good in the end.

I owe updates on the awesome meeting with "birth mama V" and about all of this work I have to do on myself, and my resignation that the only way for me to lose this weight is to go back to OA, which I'll do on Tuesday - I'm excited and scared. It was MUCH MUCH easier to lose the weight at 28 years old and while smoking, but now, here I am at the tail end of my next Saturn return at 35 years old, and the weight is the fulcrum of so much that is going on in my life. So back to basics I go...

So um yeah, I have to blog about all of that.

But for now, the interviews:

Just remember to include this at the end:

If you want to play too, leave me a comment saying "interview me." The first five commenters will be the participants.

* I will respond by asking you five questions.
* You will update your blog/site with the answers to the questions.
* You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
* When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

OK folks - just let me know when you've answered, so that I can go back and read what you wrote!


And in exciting Malka news - she started solids this week, and so far LOVES her cereal. We have figured out that cereal is fun ONLY after a bottle - otherwise, she's just too hungry to enjoy the process. But she's starting that whole open mouth and swallow thing - wow. I have some fun pictures. She's also doing prune juice shots to counter balance the cereal, as she was generally constipated before, and NOW, well, poor thing. She's getting better at drinking it, and it helps. A lot.

But there's something to be said for a gummy grin full of cereal. We'll just have to teach her a wee later on that it's not nice to laugh with a mouth ful of food. For now, we'll just enjoy the cuteness.
